91% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I received this to try from Chick Advisor and thanks for letting me give it a try. Plain was a no go, and even with fruit added most of it was rejected. She eats pretty much everything so perhaps the lack of taste put her off. Perhaps if I had started her on this when she was younger she would be happy eating it, but at a year old it was not to her liking.
My baby enjoyed this baby cereal just the same as others. It is comparable to similar products in terms of price, quality and nutrition.
I received this to try for free. My first reaction was that it was a great package, I love that it's in a resealable container. It was a lot easier to pour some into a bowl and reseal compared to the bags and boxes that are hard to close. I mixed it, sat down to feed my son and it had become thicker like a paste so I had to add a bit of water to thin it out. He made a face when I first put it in his mouth but ended up eating some of it.
I wouldn't buy this cereal because my son didn't finish it any of the times I made it for him. He usually eats everything and it is rare for him not to finish it.
Well, I'm going by the baby's vote first and foremost, then after trying it myself, I concur. I tried mixing this with water and milk, and neither of those options went over well. After tasting it myself I realized that it has a metallic, iron-like taste, and it's not very pleasant at all. I think nutritionally it's an adequate product, but it could use some flavour.
My baby seems to like this cereal so far. It hasn't resulted in a lot of spitting up and I like that it is a good source of iron with no added sugar or salt. It's quick and no-mess to add to formula, and the flip lid works great. Seems like a good transitional food. My only complaint is that it's kindof pricey so I'm not sure if I would buy it again even though the free trial carton was appreciated.
My baby didn't like it at first but then after few feeds he started to love them. The cereal is easy to digest to and the quality.
Chick advisor sent me this to try, my baby wasn't overly excited to eat it. But I loved the container it came in its way better to pour and keep the baby cereal fresh.
The problem I had with this cereal is the mixing instructions. First of all I much prefer a 'just add water' cereal because if she doesn't eat it right away, I can feed it to her in a bit. If I have to use formula to mix in it then it goes bad pretty quickly. Secondly, for a beginner cereal it recommends mixing a HUGE amount together, way too much for my girl, (who is actually a pretty big eater). I usually mix 3 rounded tbsp and equal parts water and she might not eat it all in one sitting. For drinking I'll give her 120ml of formula. This suggests mixing 6 tbsp of cereal and 160ml of formula, way too much especially because if she doesn't eat it all I have to toss it.
She likes it just fine, but unfortunately it isn't practical for me to use.
ThIs May be a great product for some, but my daughter hated it. She would not eat any of it. We had to try different brands before finding the right one. Definitely not this one.
